My buddy is a lifelong steeler fan and has wanted to get rid of Tomlin for at least 10 years. He’s given up just like anyone who wants McDermott gone should give up. Owners want to make money and as long as teams are “good” and making money which both the Steelers and bills do, no changes will be made. Jmo
agree...I cant see Pegula firing McD unless we slip from making the playoffs...for say 2 years in a row.
in that case firing and hiring a new coach would mean roster overhaul...Josh may or may not be in for that..press the rebuild button in that case...

Tomlin's head coaching record as of the end of the 2024 season is a regular season record of 187-109-2 (4-3 in 2025) and a playoff record of 8-11.
He has a career regular season win percentage of .631 and a playoff win percentage of .421, has won one Super Bowl..(41-45 in coach challenges/video reviews) .holds the record for most consecutive non-losing seasons to begin a coaching career with 18 and has never had a losing season..only Tom Landry (21) more non-loosing seasons
Said to make 16M per.
Similarities to McDemott: 91-47....659 winning percent..7-7 in playoffs... 1 loosing season out of 8...(11-27 in coach challenges/video reviews) William and Mary mates...defensive "wizards" who figure it out and win enough to keep the contracts coming but have post-season blemishes that irritate and frustrate...
Further..McDermott... as the clock ticks off the years of his franchsoe QB...has never won a playoff road game and if NE wins the AFC East Bills will be on the road for the entire playoffs loosing one of the best home field advantages of weather and crowd...
So the same narrative applies more or less

WGR AM show brought up an interesting point yesterday...historically thrwoing the long ball (touch, loft, accuracy) has not been one of Josh strenghts...a point I have made over the years as well..partly his fault, partly the WR issue...resulting the OC play-calling not having confidence in that play and talking himself out of it ??? flame on...

Thanksgiving Day 1976 - Bills lost to Detroit - 27-14
Kind of a summary of the Bills during the OJ era - gaudy personal stats and medioce-at-best teams that lost to the Phins for the entire freaking decade fueling the anger-frustation for those of us that lived thru years of that crap...
Coach Saban quits the team (again)...Starting QB Ferguson hurt mid-season..and you can figure the rest...

X it and O until you want...debate the schemes, play calls, reads, routes, adjustments, etc...but NE made a few esp clutch plays than we did (maye played just as good or better than Josh which is usually reserved for KC-Ravens games only, plus gonalez had a key PBU on Kinkaid on 3rd down which dened a first down and late game clock control, add Diggs having his best game in 3-4 years plus the excerssive amt of penatlies and turnovers and a starting WR grounded for the first O series..adds up to a mere 3 point agonizing loss..
coulda, shouda, woulda...the McD mantra

play of the game - after review the knee was just above ground as pass is released - check it on youtube.
As a Bills fan, I hate to say , but I predicted and won money based on Pats winning - Maye and Diggs played the best game of their lives and Bills were sloppy with turnovers...a Bills loss is usually agonizingly close and this was no exception...you can also say the defensive play of the game was where Gonzalez sprinted for PBU on 3rd down pass Kinkaid as Bills were driving and had to settle for FG and not the TD and clock control...onward

related news to the Ireland game - on friday nite Skylar Thompson Steelers 3rd qb now on IR was jumped and robbed and suffered minor injuries in Dublin...NFL security investigating - he was the fins unkown QB who almost beat the Bills in playoffs a few years ago...

Can’t use an app……..skus old
Phush……….skus a little younger
Conclusion: It’s tough to nail down the age but a common thread with people temporarily unable to use an app and people trying to get Phish ticket might be pot. They could be stoned.
Can’t use an app……..skus old -
wrong the ticketmaster app was full of users and bots harvesting tickets to be primarily sold on secondary markets at higher prices

true dat...logged on 15 mins pror to noon for get one freaking ticket to the Phish NYE show at MSG and I was number 111,567 in queue...at 12:16 they posted tickets are now limited and you may not get any...talk about a monopoly...

pass rush - organic DL not the blitz variety - besides the 13 seconds travesty, this has been the overall biggest weakness-challenge of the McD defense, will mask the below average play of the post Hyde-Poyer safeties, and high third down converions...god help us

Point is...unlike other broadcasters, Brady is physically not allowed on-site to do the network prep work, he meets remotely, so the NFL decided that distancing is enough to keep him from gaining competetive advantages-insights to share with the Raiders...you can aruge that he gets more intel from being around the opponents pre-game, game, stadium,etc as part of his Sunday job which only has another 8+ years to go..
if you want to rip Brady up leave it to Nikki G - language, strong R rating - like being at a Bills game

old news - cap needed for current season IR, PS and roster elevetions etc...
new news - hope they included a specific bonus to keep Dawkins getting overly-emotional during Jets game per usual and loosing focus with stupid penalties.

Prater has not missd any kicks, plus a game-winner that he so cooly walked-up with the clock running and nailed, tho Hamilton missed blocking by a hair as our edge missed the block...so Prater is good....with lingering pelvic soreness Bass may have a sports hernia ? surgery would have him out 2-3 months, if so the answer is IR and Prater replaces (now the oldest player to every play for the Bills)...one for the old guys !
-
must we apologize for winning...first regular season game always has warts as far as team being in synch, players esp reneeding reps, tackling and game shape, etc, etc

The Bills entire defense is rusty from lack playing time in preseason.
You can blame McD for coddling the boys...
and protecting from injury..its a two-edge sword...they do need the reps..esp the tackling and angles needed to do properly...
Rapp like to hit..but not be hit

ugh. I have a buddy who said this is a sports hernia. Has anyone else seen that? I think that probably means surgery and likely out for the season.if so...
There are two main types of surgical techniques used to treat sports hernias:
Open Surgery:
.
The surgeon makes a larger incision in the groin area to access and repair the injured tissues.
Laparoscopic Surgery:
.
This is a minimally invasive procedure that uses small incisions and a camera to guide the surgeon.
Recovery and Rehabilitation
After surgery, patients typically require a period of rest and rehabilitation to allow the injured tissues to heal. Physical therapy is an important part of the recovery process and may include exercises to strengthen the core, hip, and groin muscles.
Most patients can return to their previous level of activity within 6-12 weeks after surgery. However, it is important to follow the surgeon's instructions carefully and avoid activities that may aggravate the condition.
Success Rates
The success rates for sports hernia surgery are generally high. Studies have shown that over 90% of patients report significant improvement in pain and function after surgery.

Weird rep indeed. It looks like he got beat inside, but he didn't have to. He just kep watching the WR and had no idea WTF was going on with the football.
Speaking of, has anybody noticed that defenders seem to never turn around and look for the ball anymore? It seems like most replays I just see a WR running with their head upfield towards the WR with their hands in the air. Looking for the ball used to be the prerequisite for DPI. But now it seems like as long as you don't grab or truck the receiver you can do whatever.
I would be fine with a little more grabby/physical play if DB's were tracking the football.anymore ?
maddening !
remember Leodis McKelvin...first rounder and very first DB/CB taken in 2008 draft which has to our worst draft...evah...besides fumbling a kick-off return he should have downed in the endzone inside 2 mins with the Bills winning and then loosing to Brady/Pats because of that...
see also JD Williams, he off the need for the flame-######ant jersey...cant believe he is CB coach for Fresno State..must be a "do as I say not as I did" coach
both would run with and chase WRs all game with no sense of what else was going on...
how do you coach "turn your head and not the body once or twice for a split second" based on the timing of film study as when to expect the ball to be thrown or in the air ???

several sources report the Koch family purchased the 10% of NYG, hearing 10B as NYG net worth (below) ...1B which is some nice walking around cash while still still owning an overwhelming majority of an NFL team..

Trey doesnt pracice yesterday and may not today or rest of week and Benford was limited yesterday..Looks lik Ingram may start and should be limited or removed from ST out fo necessity so Franklin gets the elevation and the reps and the pay..Prater may be a gametime decision..
we are starting a 3rd stringer and a rookie (Strong) may have to play (some) for Benford..sub-opitmal

ahh..the memories...of a lil kid at the ole Rcokpile (War Memorial)..first Bills game evah....Sept 19. 1971...
Cowboys 49 at Bills 37...Dennis Shaw thows 4 TD passes and the usual (3) picks
OJ 6 with a 6-yard TD run in front me....Marlin the Magiican 100+ yards receiving...at least I saw some legends, mostly on the other side...
plus rookiie Tony Greene (Bills safety) smallest NFL player I ever saw..looked like a JV player out there...Bills on the way to a 1-13 record in 1971...sigh..

Knox has the respect of Josh-coaches-players but not quite the play-maker the fans expected which is now going to be expected from Kincaid for plays and scores and Hawes for blocking..sad to say we could be looking at his last season (along with Milano) as a Bill as the cap has to be addressed...I also enjoyed him pounding beers with Tommy Doyle and others in Josh's (or sponsors ?) suite at Sabres games over the years...

we can't ignore how the long ball looks in Bills practices either, if it not working succesfully during the week why use it on Sunday...but a surprise stretch play with a max protect call on say first down or second and short should be dialed-up at times...
